Would a raffle system be that hard?

But it is a system that would work though

But it would accomplish nothing at the end of the day, making it a pointless restriction. People put in the time to get a house, though some have been luckier than others. The auto demolition timer is enough of a price since it requires a near monthly sub. Instead of trying to come up with absolutely terrible band aid fixes they should be coming up with real solutions. And we should be trying to find such solutions ourselves to put out there as feedback and not putting out garbage like raffles and rent. Neither of those solve the underlying problems regarding housing, and they certainly don't help otherwise.

Make it a gil sink and a good one, it also flushes out the black market/RMT FC/House sellers on reddit.

A gil sink? Kind of, but not really. At least nothing of any substance. It wouldn't put much of a dent in the amount of gil people have. It also wouldn't flush out the "black market" at all because the gil amounts would be trivial anyway. So...we're back to square one.
